In 1997, three healthy collegiate wrestlers died
while each was engaged in a rapid weight loss
program to qualify for the competition. The
wrestlers were not taking enough food and liquid,
maximizing sweat loss by wearing vaporimpermeable suits under cotton warm-up suits
and exercising vigorously in hot environments.
The cause of death was dehydration,
hyperthermia, and cardiorespiratory arrest as
stated in reports
Gradual weight loss (GWL) is accomplished by negative energy balance. Negative
energy balance means burning more calories than total calorie intake. GWL is considered
healthy and permanent and takes weeks to months. If a person is losing 0.5 to 1 kg (almost
1%) in a week, it is gradual weight loss. GWL is practiced by the layman.
Rapid weight loss (RWL) is mainly accomplished by body fluid manipulation. It is a
temporary and super-fast method achieved in a very short period, sometimes even within a
few hours. A weight loss of at least 5% of body weight in less than a week is considered
RWL. RWL can be dangerous and practiced only by professional athletes under expert
supervision. A layman (non-athlete) should never try any RWL method, ever.
Now you have a basic understanding of risks, benefits, drawbacks, and methods of rapid
weight loss. Now we will discuss the recovery methods. If you don’t have a strong recovery
plan, all your efforts to rapid weight loss are a waste of everything.
Post rapid weight loss program can be divided into two parts, rehydration and glycogen
restoration.
The stadium was buzzing with energy. Matches were about to commence, and athletes from various teams were warming up. Alok Garg, the founder of KhelSarathi.com, a popular sports website, was there to conduct a nutrition workshop. Amidst the hustle and bustle, he spotted a familiar face - Arjun, a state-level football player, pacing nervously at the sidelines.
Alok approached him, concern etched on his face. "Arjun, what's wrong? You look troubled."
Arjun confessed, "Ooh jai hind Sir, I'm really worried. My match is in an hour, but I feel so drained. I haven't eaten much, and now I'm afraid I won't be able to perform. Some of my teammates say carbs are bad for energy. Is that true?"
Alok chuckled, "Carbs, bad for energy? That's one of the biggest myths in sports nutrition. Come, sit down and let me explain. There are two main types of carbohydrates: simple carbohydrates, which are broken down quickly by the body for a short burst of energy, and complex carbohydrates, which release energy steadily over a longer period."
They found a quiet spot, and Alok began, "Arjun, carbohydrates are your body's primary fuel, especially for high-intensity sports like football. When you eat carbs, your body converts them into glucose, which fuels your muscles. The extra glucose is stored in your muscles and liver as glycogen, ready to be used during your game."
Arjun's eyes lit up with curiosity. "But what kind of carbs should I eat? And how much?"
"Great question," Alok replied. "Focus on healthy complex carbohydrates like bananas, whole-grain bread, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes. Before a match, something simple and easily digestible, like a banana or an energy bar, works wonders. For daily needs, athletes like you should aim for 5-10 grams of carbs per kilogram of body weight, depending on your training intensity."
Arjun furrowed his brow. "But I've heard carbs make you fat. Isn't that a risk for athletes?"
"That's a common misconception," Alok assured him. "As long as you don't consume more calories than you burn, carbs won't make you fat. For athletes, carbs are burned as fuel, not stored as fat. The key is balance - don't overeat or choose unhealthy carbs like sugary snacks."
"So, carbs are not just for endurance sports but also for bursts of energy?" Arjun asked.
"Absolutely," Alok nodded. "Football involves sprints, tackles, and constant movement. Your body relies on glycogen for these intense efforts. Without enough carbs, you'll feel tired and sluggish on the field."
Arjun smiled. "Thank you, sir. That clears things up a lot. What should I eat after the game?"
"Good question," Alok said. "After a match, your muscles need to repair. A combination of carbs and protein is ideal. For example, a smoothie with fruits and yogurt or a bowl of dal with rice will help replenish glycogen and repair muscles."
Just then, Arjun's coach called him. "I have to go, sir," he said, standing up. "But thank you for the advice. I'll have a banana now and focus on carbs in my diet, especially complex ones."
Alok smiled. "You can do it, Arjun. Remember, carbs are your allies on the field. Play well!"
As Arjun ran off, full of energy and confidence, Alok felt a sense of pride. Helping athletes like Arjun achieve their dreams was the reason he started KhelSarathi.com. And in moments like these, he knew he was making a difference.
